Farm Aid's coming to Milwaukee

“Just as rock 'n' roll is loud and proud, so is Farm Aid. Farm Aid's greatest accomplishment, I believe, is in the spirit. It's the fact that we represent the spirit of the good fight, to keep something good happening. It just keeps getting stronger and stronger....”

Thank you Neil Young, for channeling that spirit, and thank you Farm Aid for scheduling your 25th anniversary at Miller Park in Milwaukee.

Somehow the event had made it this long without landing in America's Dairyland. It began in 1985 at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois and has crisscrossed the country playing mostly outdoor stadiums and ampitheaters.

Click here for today's live press conference (11 a.m. CDT) announcing details and performers. We've heard that Young will be appearing along with fellow organizers and mainstays Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews,  so we're good to go already. But who else will be coming to Milwaukee on Oct. 2?
